[Verse 1]
Modern industrial life
Take your soul in its fangs
We might as well be
All washed away

If I don’t hang on tight
If I let myself stray
I will lose my sight
And I will be washed away

[Chorus]
And, oh, some days I walk my own
Oh, my own pace
It takes away the heartache

[Verse 2]
It seems no one has their own eyes
And we all speak from the cage
Are we living in fright
Consenting to be washed away

[Verse 3]
I’ll lose my heart, my own eyes
I’ll lose the smell of the rain
As I walk aimless in the night
I will be washed away
[Chorus]
And, oh, some days I brush the palm
Oh, of my hand
Across the face of this forgotten land

[Verse 4]
I left my print in the sand
Organic mark made
I got up and walked in the night
And I refused to be washed away

[Verse 5]
The burden of modern life
The heart it beats and it prays
Forever to walk in the night
And never be washed away

[Outro]
And, oh, some days I walk my own
Oh, my own pace
It takes away the heartache

And oh some days, I brush the palm
Oh, of my hand
Across the face of this forgotten land
